I better get to put these on my clan mechs with noses. Timber, Dire and Ebon would look awsome with some nose cone art.

I waaaaant!

I waaaaant!


Gimmie gimmie gimmie

I know they need to adjust it for 100+ mechs but dammit I really want pinup girls on my DWF and KDK and AS7

[El Bandito]

If it is sized for only the nose then it will be too small and not worth my MC. I prefer full body art, like that of the loyalty Atlas-S.

Not likely to happen. Russ already said decals would go in certain spots, not over the entire mech. What you're asking for is a mech camo, not a decal. Sorry to disappoint.

[Xetelian]

If I don't get pinup girls I'll cry.

Also, anyone hear if decals will be able to be placed on different mechs? Like can I put the decal on like paint? Or like camo for all the variants of a chassis?

If it is like paint, then I'll definitely buy some
If it is like camo, then I'll just buy camo.

I'll do more than cry, I'll wonder why they refuse to sell the lowest hanging fruit videogames have to offer (I'm talking about sexy pinups).

remember, Dekels/Nose Art isnt for for you,
but for your Allies to see as you Fight Next to them,
as well as your Enemies to see as you walk over their Remains,

While I have no doubts this sort of thing will make its way into the decal system
It's perhaps unrealistic to expect nose art to feature among the initial selections

From the tech demo they displayed the system will handle nose art no problem and best of all you can put it anywhere you want at whatever size you want

But I would guess that first wave content for decals will be faction and unit logos
They will want to proof any system with player input before spending valuable artist hours making nose art that risks never being used

be patient

It will happen
Just like custom unit logos to use as decals
Russ said it will be a thing , but not at first wave and how custom exactly is yet to be decided

[Mazzyplz]

this will never ever ever happen.

let's just connect the dots for 10 seconds ok?

pgi is a canadian developer. the people who elected justin trudeau.
pin up girls is not compatible with fat acceptance, isn't trans-inclusive, objectifies women and is thoroughly misogynist (argh blarghh *more social justice tirades* ) . and even if they don't think so - some idiotic user of mwo will find it objectionable. it's not even a question of if, a percentage will definitely do.

so at most we will be getting, realistically - is the shark teeth similar to the warthog plane.

I'd like to see some pinup boys too

So we can oversexualize everything and drama the crap out of a simple little image! I heard that you need a certain back pose or so to get these things rolling

[Walsung]

the PC brigade will crucify us for anything looking like a WW2 pinup style nose art.

but almost anything by Gil Elvgren would be fantastic.

I don't think even the USAF allows that kind of nose art on their aircraft anymore. As far as I know, it goes through a vetting process that requires a sort of CO approval, and they discourage or outright reject the female pin-up art.

That's not to say that would or wouldn't happen in the 31st century, depending on where you are (probably more likely to see the WWII-style pin-up nose art in the Periphery and in mercenary units than in the AFFS), but realistically for this game, I wouldn't bet on it. It breaks so many 21st century social conventions.

US nose art was banned for years, just now making comeback, but in limited form.

In case you have not noticed, Hula Girl is no longer available for sale, so hopes about pin-up chicks...

[Haipyng]

Any idea how this will be setup? Somehow I just don't think it will be what most people are hoping for. My take is being able to upload my own decals (insignia or pinup nose art basically something unique) with or without PGI approval, for MC, either individually or by unit. It's the ultimate way to make your Mech stand out.

Think about destructible environment; people were asking for buildings looking totally wrecked or even eventually demolished. Vehicles crushed or destroyed. We got to knock over lamp posts and some trees, which are otherwise indestructible to any weapons fire.

As they are working on it, they should set our expectations. Based on previous experience, I'm thinking what we are asking for won't be an easy thing and what we are going to get is some canned decals to "customize" mechs with for MC.

Listening to what conversations are happening in the community and then setting proper expectations will keep folks from being embittered when they get a mere shadow of what they have been excitedly talking about.

I could be totally wrong too. Maybe PGI will pull it off in style! I hope so.
